Entrusting Naruto with a mission like this was not really appropriate. Although he had matured considerably, he was still reckless at heart.
However, Uchiha Shunichi had no better candidates available at the moment. Other people could be useful, but if they infiltrated the Kara Organization, they might never return.
After all, not everyone's fighting ability was good enough for Uchiha Shunichi to consider them useful.
And so, Naruto set off alone on his mission.
This was still uncommon among ninja. Aside from spies and those carrying out reconnaissance missions, most ninja undertook their missions in teams.
Picking up the teapot-shaped sealing tool containing the One-Tail, Uchiha Shunichi examined it for a moment before giving Shukaku some chakra.
In an instant, the tailed beast, who had been on the verge of death, regained his strength.
"How is this possible..." Shukaku stared at the changes in his body in disbelief.
As far as he knew, even the Sage of Six Paths could not have done this. After all, he had lost most of his chakra. Recovering in such a short time was nothing short of a miracle.
"This is a way to shrink your body. You can teach it to the other tailed beasts. As for what you want to do, that's up to you, as long as you don't disrupt people's normal lives."
"I imagine you don't want to become weapons for humans either." Uchiha Shunichi taught Shukaku some methods for condensing chakra.
For Shukaku, this offered an entirely different kind of paradise.
Tailed beasts did not need to eat. After all, they could sustain their enormous bodies on their own and never felt hungry.
Of course, more importantly, any food they could eat was far too small. The portions were so tiny and scarce that they were not even enough
